Opinions on Pocket Slips

[Johnnythefox]

While I was at Tandy in Syracuse NY I picked up what's called Milled Leather, it's more supple that regular leather and I am able to emboss on it. Even with slip sheaths I prefer to match the sheath to the knife, so I don't really like making generic type sheaths, this one the knife thunks into place so it doesn't come out unless I pull on the lanyard.

I like it and the thunk,did you make the knife as well?

 

[Gary W. Graley]

Johnnythefox thanks, and would that I had that talent to make the knife, I don't talent wise or tool wise, it's made by Trivisa and it was one of two that I own, the other is a clip point, if you see one, I'd recommend either that one or this one that I am keeping;

I have a simpler sheath for that one since it doesn't have a lanyard pin, lighter leather so I can push the knife up and out

I am a huge fan of pocket slips! I love them!

This slip has a clip on the backside. It clips onto the pocket and keeps the knife up right and ready to grab. It works great for trapper sized knives.

I have a nice slip with a clip that holds a Sodbuster Jr, it is the right size, just sort of bent the clip by accident so it does not hold as well. I like the idea of the Buckaroo slip that Horsewright makes, the thong wraps around a belt loop so you can pull the slip out of the pocket, then remove the knife from the slip.

Not the greatest picture, but this is an update of my pocket slip collection. I’ve come across some really talented and generous people

The Ozzie Smith baseball glove slip is still, without a doubt, the best pocket slip ever. Period.

I’ve been making some from Tandy’s milled veggie tan leather and like it a lot for the suppleness and protection it provides

Thank you! While I am biased in my opinion I have to agree with you

Great little collection mate

Thank you. It’s honestly as fun as the knives that ride in them

Newest addition to my pocket slip collection. A baseball glove slip made from a Roger Maris model Spalding glove

I never needed a slip when I carried a Buck with a saw cut Delrin handle. It got a few dings here and there, but nothing bad. Now I carry a Lionsteel with ram's horn handles and I keep that in a slip. No need for a fancy slip, just one that I can get the knife out of quickly without fumbling.

Love the Mustard-Ketchup stiching!!!

I just picked up this Hide & Drink slip on a whim. It's designed for things such as carrying a SAK and flashlight together. Not sure what I'll finally end up doing with it (maybe a Vic Electrician and a Mini Maglight?). For now I'm trying it out with my Buck 112 Slim Select (nail nick version and with pocket clip removed). Seems to be nicely made with a flat back and bulging front so that it is comfortable in the pocket but has plenty of capacity.
